JDBC-compliant drivers connect databases, with tested drivers listed for Oracle, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Apache Derby. Monitoring can integrate with MasterScope, HP OpenView, and Workload Manager. A container-customized Express version is certified with Docker 1.4.1 and later. Listed systems include Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022, plus 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 and Oracle Linux 8 and 9. Pricing is on request; each license covers up to two processor cores.
